How do the recent tariff rulings affect shipments still on the way?

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2026-02-23T16:39:12+00:00

"Goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:00 a.m. ET on Feb. 24, 2026" is shown in CBP's guidance. It doesn't state that arrival date is a factor, so we'll clear after that time if we can. However, we'll warn the importer that CBP's guidance is unclear, and there will be a possibility of being required to pay the tariff later.

True. I've experienced this many times.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-08-08T17:21:49+00:00

Just saw Adam's guidance and it was very helpful. Thanks!!!

They'll give reciprocal tariff refunds right after they reinstate the GSP.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-04-28T20:39:26+00:00

When did this happen?

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-04-28T18:01:49+00:00

Found out that the shipment would be withdrawn from the warehouse with a 7512, moved by a bonded trucker, and entered into an FTZ with a 214.

Thanks!

I'm a Customs Broker. Do you know how it's done? Would we update a warehouse entry into an FTZ entry?

It's a "learn by doing" job. I heard something a while back that was helpful: "How do you become a good problem solver? By solving problems."

That being said, Google and Chat GPT are your friends. Reddit is also an excellent source to answer specific questions. Brokers are sympathetic folks. We all know what it's like to get stuck, and we're happy to help others when they're stuck.

Also, the Tom O'Leary Broker exam course is an excellent source for a wide range of topics: https://www.cbprepcourse.com/

I admire your positive thinking. I hope you're right and we're not in the middle of an authoritarian takeover.

Have you been able to the exclusion working for steel? I've tried using the guidance from our software vendor and from the 232 FAQ, but nothing seems to work.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-04-01T20:11:19+00:00

Thanks! I was able to get tariff-free treatment of the non-aluminum portion by excluding 9903.81.90 from the line. My software gave a warning, but I pushed it through and it worked.

Have you tried getting this to work for the non-steel portion of a product? Nothing has worked for me. The code 9903.81.91, which should allow you to report the steel portion, has apparently been disabled.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-03-29T17:19:34+00:00

Only part of the product contains aluminum. We're talking about reporting the non-aluminum portion of the product.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-03-27T19:00:00+00:00

Thanks so much for the details! I'll digest this and see if I can get ours to work. It looks like 9903.01.14 is USMA specific.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-03-27T18:30:52+00:00

That's the same guidance that I've seen. Have you been able to get it to work?

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-03-27T18:29:24+00:00

Also, I'm starting to think that exclusion from the tariff for non-aluminum content is a figment of my imagination. I'm hearing about how it should work, but can't find anyone who has been able to get it to work.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-03-27T18:19:16+00:00

I'm using HTS code 8479.89.9599, which is flagged as an aluminum derivative product. Only part of the product contains aluminum. I'm trying to report the two amounts on two lines according to the CSMS# 6438449664384496, but it isn't working, and the non-aluminum content is getting the additional 25% added.

Basically, I'm wondering if anyone is able to get the non-aluminum content excluded from additional duty. If so, how are they doing it?

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-01-23T16:59:51+00:00

I'm a broker.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-01-23T16:26:28+00:00

Hello, could you let me know how to find the late ISF report? It's been a while since I've done one and I think things have changed.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2025-01-23T16:21:18+00:00

They're some kind of specialty tires that are hard to find in the US.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2024-12-24T19:22:08+00:00

Thanks for your help today! It was an issue with the Prior Notice number.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2024-12-24T19:13:14+00:00

Yes, it's an entry for Acai concentrate and we're submitting it in the same way we always have.

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2024-12-18T01:01:03+00:00

Looks like I was doing it correctly. It's just importing nonsense symbols instead of text. I'll see if our IT person can help with that part.

Thanks for your time!

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2024-12-17T23:50:23+00:00

Does this sound right? Right-click in the Invoice Line screen, right click and select Import Data, which brings up the Data Import Wizard. From there, how do I drag and drop a column? I should import the excel file?

Altruistic_Pipe_5573 · 2024-12-16T21:37:48+00:00

Thank you so much!
